Like her brother, Fundora towers over the rest of the division. She stands 5 feet 9 inches tall, six inches taller than Badillo, who will struggle with range come fight night. Moreovr, Fundora is significantly more powerful than her, having seven stoppages in her 15-0 run, while Badillo has just three at 19-0-1.
Fundora is too large and too powerful and can easily bank on her height and reach advantage fo box from the outside and pepper the much shorter Badillo with jabs. However, if Badillo bites down on her mouthpiece to close the distance, which she must to land anything, she risks running into a fight-ending counter.
The Prediction: Gabriela Fundora via TKO
#2. Super welterweight: Charles Conwell vs. Jorge Garcia
Charles Conwell vs. Jorge Garcia serves as the co-headliner of the Gabriela Fundora vs. Marilyn Badillo card. No world title is on the line, but the bout is meant to be a proving ground for Conwell, who is unbeaten at 21-0. Meanwhile, Garcia is 32-4, and is the third-ranked WBO contender.
It is a good measuring stick for Conwell, who is a rounded boxer with exceptional athleticism. He is powerful, with 16 stoppages in 21 wins, fast, tough, and has a decent enough skill-set to not be outboxed by most. Garcia, though, is also powerful, with 26 stoppages in 32 wins.
But, he will be at an athletic disadvantage against Conwell, who will find his chin eventually.
The Prediction: Charles Conwell via TKO
